HELLO THERE!
(:
This is a problem that looks harder then it seems, First determine the cost of each item he is trying to buy. Then figure out the number of dollars he has to spend. Once you have figured that out you divide the cost into how much he has.
For example.
John has 10 dollars. He wants to buy pencils. Each pencil will cost john 2 Dollars. How many can he buy?
By dividing the cost of the pencils = 2 into the number of dollars he has 10 Divided by 2, we get 5.
Now it's your turn. Divide the number he has to spend by the price of the items. This will get you your answer!
Hope this helped!
1 feet = 12 inches
25 feet= 25*12 inches
25 feet=300 inches
300inches/4inches=75 pieces of ribbon
